Malcolm Lewis:
New owner for the coffee shop formerly known as Grimaldi's. They're off to a very promising start. The Stumptown coffee is awesome, the barristas are solid, especially Corinne (sp?) and it looks like new owner Ryan has the drive and enthusiasm to make this a local favorite.
Bottom line, I think this is now the Eastside's best coffee shop. Spread the word - because friends don't let friends drink Starbucks ;)
